Question

Which metabolic wastes are produced in our brain?
How is it ejected out?

Answer 1

Dear student, Brain produces two basic metabolic wastes that are amyloid beta and tau. Accumulation of these two in brain can cause serious disorders like plaque in Alzheimer patients, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurodegenerative diseases. These wastes are ejected out through glymphatic system which involves elimination of these wastes by cerebrospinal fluid. Thanks and regards.
